With the Senate deadlock on the big work relief bill still unbroken (at this writing), investigations of imwportant emergency agencies inaugurated and adverse lower court decisions in several N.R.A. cases, the administration is facing the most -serious legislative situation that has , iarisen since Franklin D. Roosevelt be- ^•|tame President on March 4. two ajgo. Arid tlsis, despite the .fact that three>-fourths of the Houu>e >.. « membership and more than two-thirds i4;> . 'of the Senators are Democrats, maverities far greater than in the 73rd ; _ v V , C o n g r « B S . . • • V I v \ , v v ; < "fSuch an impasse ewald oaifte jfcbovit a$ the result of pressure from : the folks back home. Those folks " *vho haven't- got the jobs the adminis- *'f"tration program was supposed to Wff£4Sare»tethe folks who have lost their ^ Jiomes or their farms because goveinfcnent loaning agencies failed to funic-, tion properly; the small, lipdu&tey or business concern that can't continue to exist and live up to N.R.A. codes, " the farmers who cut down production at the behest of the A.A.A. and 41 e now without feed Xor livestock or seea for planting of new crops, while the -p-j^gTftjn and meat that might have beet: praised in other than drought strickei areas is now being imported from other countries; the self-respecting unemployed, who in far too many instances have been made desperate by difficulties encountered in obtaining relief; the small industry loan applicants who were turned down by the R.F.C.; and last but not least, the "self-supporting consumers? who watch ' with fear and trembling the ascending '• scale of living costs while wages remain at rock bottom. ... Added to these complaints arc . those of the world war veterans who ir - ' •Are in acute need, while consideration of bonus legislation is being heid up, and those of the old age pension advocates who want the federal government to do something specific and adequate along this line without waiting indefinitely to tie it up to a whole " program of "social security" legislation of doubtful desirability. Meanwhile the Republican minority loses no opportunity to propose* con- * struetive measures or to join Democrats in opposition to further appropriations of billions of dollars without ear-marking and other assurances that the money actually will accomplish the objects for which it is supposed to be used. If, as many charge, E. R. A. has encouraged monoplies and squeezed out the small business man, the whys and wherefores certainly ought to be looked into before a measure for its ex- ' ; tension is framed, much less passed. . And so Senator Nfe, Republican, of Dakota, and Senator McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada, joined fortes a few days ago in presenting a resolution calling for a sweeping invesyti- -gation of N.R.A. and Republicans joined with Democrats in passing the resolution. Question Work Relief Plans ° If work relief to the tune of four T ' billion dollars is going to be expended for further reclamation and development projects of doubtful value, / wasted on hastily conceived projects as was done under C.W.A., or used to finance socialistic experiments under the guise of relief, there is a growing feeling that direct relief is to b;. preferred. On the other hand if work relief is going to mean good roads, - where roads are realy needed, school houses to safely shelter and an adequate teaching personnel to their future citizens; municipal improvements in thousands of communities; elimination of death dealing grade crossings at the ultimate expense ol the railroads; and other practical pro jects, which may be approved and carried out quickly, many who have oppo9ed the work relief bill in its present form would vote fqr it if provisions for allocation of funds were included, though many congressmen the bill are not yet available, but it is said to provide for direct payments by tlft federal government. Meanwhile both Senate and House committees continue to wrestle with thu Wagner-Lewis social security measure introduced early in the session. The Lewis who is a co-author of thisbill is a representative from Maryland. Let us hope the two Lewis measures do not get mixed up in tha public mind. Where Do We Go Prom Here? Many congressmen as well as a 'arge slice of the- informed observer.-* of national affairs are wondering more and more just where the country is going ih the matter of national credit. .Representative Taber, of New York, ranking Republican member of the House Appropriations Committee, recited some leather startling figures the other day in a speech in the House. He pointed out. that regfular annual appropriations for govern-* ment purposes are now running around ?4,000,000,000 annually while taxes take care of only ?3,0*00,000,- 000.00, thus causing an annual deficit of a billion dollars in current expenses. This does hot include anjr of the " emergecny appropriations which since March 4, 1933 have amounted to $7,200,000,000.00. Our public debt stood at $16,000,000,000. in 1930. ' If one adds to the present day total of twenty-eight and onehalf billions the Unexpected, balances of emergency appropriations and the arrtounts that are now being sought in additional appropriations, the total would run above forty billion dollars according to Mr. Taber, The eyes of Chicago and all the surrounding territory have been watching with keen interest the progress made by the Civilian Conservation Corps stationed at Glenview, 111., and named Camtp Skokie Valley, • This is the largest camp in the U. S. -It consists of ten companies. Each company- is made up of approxi mately two hundred men, totaling around two thousand in the entire camp. . Captain Crehan is the District Commander of the Eighteenth Forestry District, in which Skokie Valley is located, and also Commanding Officer of Camp Skokie Valley. His assistant is Captain Mandell. Every comipany also has its C. O. and assistant under the direct Jurisdiction of the D. C. All of the officer? are Army Reserves and practically all have a college education. N<jw I shall attempt to give you a sketch of the work that this camp is doing, Eight hundred acres of gwamp and two hundred acres of waste land is to be drained .and Converted into a large state park. Seven lagoons are to be cfug out, the largest of which covers, twenty-eight acres. These lagooiie are dug out nine i'eet deep and the dirt used to bhild iiykes and in landscaping. the grounds. Fifty-fivo thousand trees- were planted last fall and abo^ut fifty thousand mor§ will be planted. The plans call for a total of twt> million cubic yards of dirt to be moved. In the past year and one half, a million cubic yards of dirt has been moved. The government has two Bay Citj shovels, motor-driven, of a yard capacity in operation. Each shovel under favorable conditions !s capable of loading one hundred and twenty-five D. T. Smiley, Attorney EXECUTORY NOTICE Estate of Mary A.

Lewis Has Old Age Pension Bill Another development of the week which may be regarded as a blow to the brain trusters who had, doped out a very complicated and inclusive "social security" measure, was the introduction late Friday in the Senate of a substitute, old age pension and unemployment insurance bill drawn by no less a stalwart than J.
